the usual numuber of octaves and pod..!

soft to loud, aind 4,; far superior -in
richness and depth, and is as clear
'and sweet as cani b) inil gin1ed. The.,
peculiar feature of the invention is
that, iistead of strings stretched

'Otie hook of each tongue beirg half

an oiitavo higher, thus each stroko of
the hammor produces tLwo notes an1
